Winners might be.......... Landis, Hincapie, Azevedo.... I'd thought perhaps Basso, too --- but, he won't be participating....

Well ... with several of the big favorites (and a whole bunch of wannabes) suspended, it's pretty wide open. I'm not even sure if I know any names of those who are left, except for Thor Hushovd. So I'll guess Hushovd. Not that he has much of a chance. He's not a climber. But if he does win I'll get outsiders' odds.
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

Even though he's not one of my favs, Landis. Yesterday I would have said Basso.
On an aside did you guys read the Dave Z. interview of Floyd in this month's bicycling? Pretty entertaining."Only the meek get pinched, the bold survive"

Betagirl, I got the magazine yesterday & started reading it... got some funny looks from co-workers when I started giggling... Dumb and Dumber indeed!

I am going to have to say Vino or Landis now.

Unfortunately, you're going to have to narrow that choice, Lifesgreat. Astana-Wurth seems to be out entirely. Even though Vino's not implicated, Astana (Liberty-Seguros) apparently had more riders connected to this mess than any other team. Unless he can skip teams overnight, Vino's out of contention, which means we miss the drama of his great attacks.
